Loki is a 6-year-old Mixed Breed Terrier in Chico, CA, who needs $1,270 for Diagnostic Testing (Blood and Xrays).

I guess you could say he was a rescue in a since. His previous owner was in a tough spot and was unable to care for him, that's when we welcomed Mr. Loki into our family at just 3 months old. Prior to us getting loki he had gone through alot of trauma. Loki was dropped and landed on his face which caused damage to his eye socket, he also had mange. He was lucky to get us like we were him.

Loki is an absolute blessing. He is so loved beyond words. He has a mom and dad that can't see life without him. He has grandparents that take him out for "loki" days. Last year we got loki a sister. Her name is echo and they adore eachother. He even tolerates the cats sharing his bed with him. He is a cuddle bug and spoiled rotten. He loves climbing under the covers and is always so happy.

Loki is so unique. He is very vocal, and can say I love you. He knows multiple tricks & his favorite time of year is fall. He loves leaf piles and does flips for them when you toss them in the air. He minds extremely well, never has to be told twice. He is very spoiled and goes everywhere with us. When he gets excited he does a happy dance where his whole body wiggles like a fish out of water.

Loki's health has always been good. A month & a half ago I noticed his breathing was noisier than usual. I took him to chico pet vet & they listened to his lungs (clear) its in his throat, sounds like he is breathing thru a straw. Blood work & xrays are needed but cant afford it. Heart worm is negative. The concern is possible trachea collapse. If caught early it's manageable that's if he gets help

He needs blood work & xrays to start. I applied for care credit, was denied. Currently in medical assistant training & employed, only on call. I've applied for grants & funding but none is available. I am desperate. He is only 6. I hurts to watch him struggle for air. Please
